The Culture Wars of Data Protection

As always, Eduardo Ustaran, Partner at Hogan Lovells, has provided his regular editorial. In this issue, Eduardo contemplates the impact that different global cultures have on data protection law. 

"As far as the purpose of data protection law is concerned, the intention was never to stop the world, close the Internet and restrict progress. European data protection law has always been about enabling personal data to flow while protecting our rights and freedoms, particularly our privacy. There is plenty of room for maneuver within that premise to function in a globally connected way."

Can AI Be Ethical at All? A Brief Analysis of Ethical and Legal Requirements

Dr. Carlo Piltz, Partner at Piltz Legal, provides us with an article looking at the ethical and legal requirements of using and developing AI. 

"At a time when automation and data processing methods are advancing, their socially relevant applications are also expanding. In fact, these advances are also accompanied by ethical, economic, and political concerns about the development and application of these systems. Systems that use AI are technologically very advanced and therefore complex, with development always moving forward. However, the systems' decisions are not always comprehensible from the outside. This poses a danger and an ethical problem for society."

OneTrust's Evolution of Trust: Securing Trust to Drive Business Growth

Justin Henkel, Head of CISO Center of Excellence at OneTrust, takes a closer look at how organizational security practices can help maintain consumer trust. 

"As a CISO or information security professional, trust in the underlying technology system falls on your shoulders. The confidentially, integrity and availability (CIA) triad is at the core of every IT stack. This technology stack and the business decisions driving and mitigating risk provide the foundation for trust across your company."

Cookies 2021 Regulatory Roundup – A Country-by-Country Guide to Getting Cookie Consent Right

The OneTrust DataGuidance Content Team brings us a round-up of some of the latest cookie guidelines coming from Europe's data protection authorities. 

"The European Data Protection Board ('EDPB') adopted, on 9 March 2021, a statement on the ePrivacy Regulation3, where it highlighted that the new ePrivacy Regulation must enforce the consent requirement for cookies and similar technologies, as well as ensure effective ways of obtaining consent for websites and mobile applications to address, among others, consent fatigue. Until such time as the ePrivacy Regulation is adopted, however, the guidelines issued by national supervisory authorities, which provide for varied requirements across the EU, generally dictate how organizations should collect consent for the use of cookies, and how the information, policies, and mechanisms relating to the same are presented to users."
